I love to see Genesis pushing the envelope. Im really happy they finally found a beautifully elegant design language. One of the greatest brands up there right now.
I can't help but feel that people who say this forgot the atrocity of service that Hyundai had and continues to serve to all Sonata/Elantra/Santa Fe owners from the past 5-8 years with engine failures. Their service is truly bottom rung. My brother-in-law's car had the famous knocking issue and brought his car into the dealership multiple times, each time being told he might've had a bad oil change interval resulting in the issue (BS, and he did all his service @ the dealer on time, on record). When we fought for an engine swap after CELs turning on on the drive home from the dealer, they would still try to blame us. It wasn't without fierce fighting that the dealer offered the warrantied engine swap. We paid for TWO tows before they finally admitted it could be the issue that is *well known*. (Note that Hyundai didn't recall nearly all of the cars or offer to do the fix, so you will see fewer of these cars rolling around now as owners give up on their cars and sell them for scrap when their engines pop). Upon trying to starting to do the engine swap, the dealer even tried to scam us into buying a new set of spark plugs for the engine, when the warrantied block comes SHIPPED WITH SPARK PLUGS. They tried to get us to buy "a new set of plugs" or "swap the old ones over on your own dime". We told the dealer to "swap the old ones over" but told them they're responsible for the cost since this is all WARRANTY WORK. They called us back 30 minutes later telling us the block already had new plugs in it. What a joke. Still trying to nickel and dime the customer with lies. Stories like this are covered up but rampant. Just search these terms on google: hyundai engine knock reddit or hyundai engine knock forum You'll see how Hyundai treats its customers then. Hyundai tries to actively disguise this massive issue in their engine as bad fuel, or bad spark plugs, etc. Guess what? The Genesis service team lives out of Hyundai's dealerships. All of Hyundai staff have already trained to be resistant and reluctant to admit fault and take warranty claims. You can bet your ass Hyundai is trying to buy everyone's opinions out. It's how the Chaebols of Korea do it, and it's why Genesis looks like it's able to break into the market. You're buying a rebadged Hyundai. Enjoy your first 2-3 years, and expect it to be shit after that.

Such a great car... I definitely agree that a fully EV platform would have been nicer in terms of offering more interior space, but as is, it looks better inside and out than any BMW or Mercedes EV sedan right now. I can't wait for an electric G90.
You're going to have to wait awhile. The new G90 wasn't designed for electrification and currently Genesis/Hyundai has no plans on converting it to an EV like the G80 or GV70...
This car joins the pantheon of electrics providing the perfect excuse, as power black-outs become all the rage, to avoid attending business meetings, family get togethers, as well as a myriad of other questionable, time-vampiric activities which invade my oh so important "me time".
I've owned a first gen G80, and now a new facelift G70. Both cars were fantastic, and I'll definitely be interested in returning to the brand come trade time if the G70 pans out in the long run. Nothing but impressed for the car for the money.

Summed up my thoughts on BMW perfectly. They're generic and they're set up for that 1% of the time you're driving and you just want to burn some rubber, not the 99% of the time you just want to cruise down the road. Old BMWs did both.

I think this is exciting. I recently got to drive an EQS450 and 580 recently, and I’m converted to the ev side for a daily luxury commuter. While those are out of my price range, this would certainly be a maybe. It’s helped by the fact that it’s handsome too

Truly a perfect use of an EV drivetrain. When the mass market battery and motor setup most closely approximates the luxury barge experience, it should be used for that purpose. The weight, smooth torque, and price match it perfectly to a car like the G80 so that even a rushed retrofit makes for one of the more compelling luxury EVs. It’s also cool to see how efficient this is given the same battery size as the Ioniq 5 and EV6, likely due to the length, low roof, and aerodynamic design. Goes to show that while crossovers can get similar gas MPG to similar sized sedans, in terms of range the gap is a bit larger. I still really want to see you guys review a Lucid. Based on Jason Camissa’s review, it seems it’s a sports sedan in luxury clothing, like a fully thought out G80EV. Also, good god, learn some things about charging. The people who can afford this for daily commutes, nights out, airports, and to go to conferences in the nearby metrocenter will almost never fast charge. 240V, even at relatively low amps will recuperate 50-100 miles of range overnight, and higher power home chargers at 20KW can recharge these cars in 4-6 hours. I know you’re driving this continuously and extensively to test it, but luxury car drivers go places, come home, and plug in. That’s it. Go watch Technology Connections’ EV charging video - it makes this point so much better than a comment can. Alec has been doing this EV thing longer than you guys have and he gets that half the appeal is (almost) never thinking about re-fueling/charging. You guys should have enough experience with EVs to understand that L2 charging is more than enough for 90% of normal (light vehicle)drivers and 99.5% of their daily trips. Hell, 280 miles of range would be enough for my 2 hour weekend spirited backroad drives, or skiing trips to nearby mountains, or a trip to NYC and back, and plenty for my daily commute or grocery trips.
Nice review as always, but there's a line of dialogue in this video that has me a little irked: "internal combustion problems". While I understand the context, considering how much you complained about the drivetrain in the last videos, but it sounds like you've already been assimilated by the Borg....er the EV overlords who so mistakenly believe that EVs are going to restore the atmosphere, the rainforests, the seas, the polar icecaps, and everything else that's been destroyed by industrialization and that will get worse when that same industry has to produce 100 million more batteries a year. Nice car though, and I for one am rooting for Genesis big time!
>200m/day consistently means one is a truck driver. At a stupid average speed of 50mph, it's still 4 hours. Anyone not driving for a living spending 4 hours a day in a car need to reevaluate their life choices
Just had to look back and see what pile you had to review that just didn’t connect with your viewers. Sedan. High priced. Ev. Lol his really resonates.
Yesterday I watched a video about 1958 GM. There was a bit where they showed a bunch of front end concept explorations. Genesis : We don't need a massive grille. Let us go apeshit happy addressing this opportunity! How about.. we fill in the holes with plastic! Shiny plastic!
You've been talking about the EV transition period for a few years now. Do you think you'll be able to tell when you get in that "iPhone 8" equivalent where it's 90% of the way to what anyone will need?
If it's clean, it will have swirl marks bordering on gouges from the car wash where the owner has a membership. If it's dirty, it will have dirt in said swirls.
This is destroyed by a Tesla S, 3 or Y. Price, drivetrain efficiency, storage space, charging infrastructure, software, passenger space, safety. I currently own a V6 G80 that I've really liked and am shopping for an EV but I can't even consider this car.
I get why you'd lease under the basis that it is an in-between ICE and ground-up EV. I suppose you'd dump it in three years and get the next EV Genesis generation which is a bit sad. I hope people treat cars a bit less as a disposable product with 3 years of life and stay using things long-term. Always changing cars because you want the "newest" seems like a waste and the perfect trap of capitalism you fall for.
Did no one notice the starcraft theme song? Why is that there? Lol is that in the menu or were you two goons paying tribute to South korea and Nostalgia?
These promos are so nice now. Other brands are doing it too but the free fast charging is amazing. I wish Kia's was as generous. They gave us a limited amount of KwH (1000) for free at EA... I've already long used that up.
if this car is only available in 8 states, is it possible to buy it and ship it to your state or will it not be registerable in your state if its not for sale there?
With so much push for EV all around the globe from governments & manufacturers alike, I see a ton of reviews being done on them left & right (although I only watch a select few I know are quality work like this one) I am astonished at how little it is discussed around how to actually solve the big elephant in the room, charging. Other than Tesla, not a single manufacturer or country is seriously trying to address the challenge of how to deliver the electricity necessary to satisfy the theoretical demand if even 25% of current ICE vehicles were replaced by EVs I know you guys are focused on the North America market and have actually glanced on this topic multiple times but I find it interesting how little in the shape of real effort is being made to show real commitment to push the move.
they dont recyle batteries either. they should at least offer enough battery for everyday use, then gas generator for lighter weight car for lower cost, more driving fun by agility, more efficiency at least when using battery only bc more batteries u add the exponentially less efficient it gets.
If you have the money to lease a G80, you most likely have a garage where you can charge overnight. 95% of charging is done at home. Most people rarely go on long road trips. The importance of the supercharger network is overblown.
@@M1911jln it’s not overblown, it’s just a problem that hasn’t truly come around. For luxury cars and such you’re right, but when evs attempt to go down market it will matter more, especially for those who drive a lot (particularly for work)
Could it be that this is a "compliance car"? Meaning, it's just to get Genesis's overall EPA/Emissions rating way down, because all their models count towards emissions, so the bastardization is a quick & cheap way to get numbers down, making it a necessary evil so other models can be the great, powerful ICE vehicles we want them to be.
This an "almost" car for me. The range is almost competitive. The storage space is almost enough. The price is almost justifiable. The back seat is almost usable for taller people. This car is almost worth the hassle of shopping at a Hyundai dealer. Maybe the next generation will be a capital 'W' winner.
Noticed the driver side profile camera has been pretty dark the last couple of videos, was this looking ahead to the dark days beyond internal combustion?
So I checked the Electrify America map near me. Eastern Massachusetts. It's pathetic. Maybe they'll be a runaway success and they'll be all over the place. Later. Imagine choosing where you live or work based on there being a petrol station there.
While I think people make charging outside of home more an issue than it truly is, the fact is that the EV charging infrastructure needs explosive (lol) growth. The demand for EVs is now there, now build the infrastructure!
I slammed this like button harder than a Nissan Altima hitting the curb at my local Arby's. The moment I saw that Starcraft theme song.

With so much push for EV all around the globe from governments & manufacturers alike, I see a ton of reviews being done on them left & right (although I only watch a select few I know are quality work like this one) I am astonished at how little it is discussed around how to actually solve the big elephant in the room, charging.
Other than Tesla, not a single manufacturer or country is seriously trying to address the challenge of how to deliver the electricity necessary to satisfy the theoretical demand if even 25% of current ICE vehicles were replaced by EVs
I know you guys are focused on the North America market and have actually glanced on this topic multiple times but I find it interesting how little in the shape of real effort is being made to show real commitment to push the move.
Norway is pushing hugely state-wide. So saying no company or country besides Tesla tackling charging is plain wrong.
they dont recyle batteries either. they should at least offer enough battery for everyday use, then gas generator for lighter weight car for lower cost, more driving fun by agility, more efficiency at least when using battery only bc more batteries u add the exponentially less efficient it gets.
If you have the money to lease a G80, you most likely have a garage where you can charge overnight. 95% of charging is done at home. Most people rarely go on long road trips. The importance of the supercharger network is overblown.
@@M1911jln hes talking about the electric grid needing to be upgraded to handle the far greater demand in energy use
@@M1911jln it’s not overblown, it’s just a problem that hasn’t truly come around. For luxury cars and such you’re right, but when evs attempt to go down market it will matter more, especially for those who drive a lot (particularly for work)
Could it be that this is a "compliance car"?
Meaning, it's just to get Genesis's overall EPA/Emissions rating way down, because all their models count towards emissions, so the bastardization is a quick & cheap way to get numbers down, making it a necessary evil so other models can be the great, powerful ICE vehicles we want them to be.
Not that's a cool looking car with a real interior, and real dash. This with vegan interior materials would be perfect as a luxury car
Its probably more relibale than the germans so if ktnisnthean its better
This an "almost" car for me. The range is almost competitive. The storage space is almost enough. The price is almost justifiable. The back seat is almost usable for taller people. This car is almost worth the hassle of shopping at a Hyundai dealer. Maybe the next generation will be a capital 'W' winner.
It more luxurious than Bmw and Audi
Why isn't it possible for the so called luxury arm of Hyundai to design a nice looking steering wheel? That thing is hideous.
Have you seen BMW grills?
Not a fan of the electrified ICE car platform...
Edit: yeah I agree with the lease advice on this car...
Because no one floors it and turns the wheel like you do except maybe on a test drive... that's why they don't care.
Now this is an ev done right! Give me a car and just electrify it! If it’s larger than a model s, I’ll take it.
I swear these two guys are extra relaxed today 😎
Price is under the new G90 by about $8k for the cheaper G90. Depends on features you want.
Soooo wait until genesis makes a ground up ev g90 then. Note made.
Dear Asian auto industry: enough with the big stupid grills. Thank you.
"Only Michael McDonald"...that's perfect for this car too!
Noticed the driver side profile camera has been pretty dark the last couple of videos, was this looking ahead to the dark days beyond internal combustion?
You did not explain the rear seat room correctly
Huge ugly grill and very sad ugly steer wheel. Why
wonder what type of lith batt it is ?
Genesis G80: the intersection of luxury cars and Starcraft.
"generic eco-shit box"
lmao
The comments are the real MVPs
At least the engine won't catch fire.
Bonus points for playing the starcraft soundtrack in a South Korean car. Well done

7:36 "Yah Mo Be There"??? 🤣🤣 (w/ James Ingram)
SG: Thanks for adding all those other informational videos whilst you two stood under that vast panorama of aero/NVH panels 👍
compare this with eqe.
I like this...my dog will fit in the backseat, so it's not an issue
so, whats in the engine bay? a platinum plated cooler?
So I checked the Electrify America map near me. Eastern Massachusetts. It's pathetic. Maybe they'll be a runaway success and they'll be all over the place.
Later.
Imagine choosing where you live or work based on there being a petrol station there.
While I think people make charging outside of home more an issue than it truly is, the fact is that the EV charging infrastructure needs explosive (lol) growth. The demand for EVs is now there, now build the infrastructure!
here for the Starcraft theme soundtrack! *gif of Leo pointing at TV screen*
